WARNING Do not use the
device if people without the
proper protective clothing are in
its reach. With short spray
lances, your hand may come
into contact with the high-pres-
sure jet. Never use a spotlight
nozzle or rotary nozzle with steel
tubes that are shorter than
75 cm. A recoil force will arise
due to the water stream ejecting
from the spray lance. An angular
spray lance produces a force
that acts in upward direction.
Make sure you grip the gun and
spray lance firmly. When using
angular spray units, recoil forces
and twisting forces may alter.
Do not aim the high-pressure
jet at yourself, e.g. to clean
clothes or shoes. Do not direct
the high-pressure jet at persons,
animals, live electrical equip-
ment or at the device itself. Do
not spray any objects which con-
tain harmful substances (e.g.
asbestos). Check the device
and the accessories, such as
the high-pressure hose, high-
pressure gun and safety devic-
es, to make sure they are in
proper safe and reliable condi-
tion before each operation. Do
not use the device if it is dam-
aged. Replace damaged com-
ponents immediately. Only use
high-pressure hoses, control
panels and couplings specified
by the manufacturer.
CAUTION Never leave the
device unsupervised while it is in
operation. Never open the
cover while the motor is running.
Never clamp the lever of the
high-pressure gun during opera-
tion. Allow the hoses to cool
down after hot water operation
or operate the device briefly us-
ing cold water operation. The
device must be placed on an
even, firm subsurface. Before
cleaning, carry out a risk as-
sessment of the surface to be
cleaned to determine any health
and safety protection require-
ments. The necessary protec-
tive measures must be taken
accordingly.
ATTENTION Do not operate
the device at temperatures be-
low 0 °C. Only clean the motor
at washing stations with an oil
separator.
